As summer heats up, it’s fitting that we’re announcing the pyrotechnic swing and incendiary rock of fire-cracker Japanese pianist Hiromi​ — she’ll be in town to challenge and defy expectations of the piano trio.

Miroslav Vitouš​ — founding member and bassist for Weather Report​ — makes his long-awaited return to London with the award-winning pianist and composer Emil Viklický​.

At Wigmore Hall, there’s a very rare opportunity to experience a solo bass performance by one of the outstanding improvisers on the planet, Dave Holland

After last year’s sold-out performances in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe, we’re back with Courtney Pine and Zoe Rahman’s beautiful collaboration for bass clarinet and piano. Grammy-nominated Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez also appears in the candlelit indoor space.
